WOW Macro Library (DPS Rotations, Healing, Tanking, etc)

I have a request.. a Combat Rogue macro?

1) If Slice and Dice is active on player AND has less than 5 seconds left on duration, Sinister Strike and THEN Slice and Dice.
2) If Slice and Dice is active on player and has more than 5 seconds left on duration, Sinister Strike to 5 Combo Points THEN Eviscerate.

I have a simple macro that basically will always Sinister Strike to 5 Combo Points.. Slice and Dice.. Sinister Strike to 5 Combo Points.. Eviscerate. Don't know how to keep track if Slice and Dice is up on me and the duration left... >_<

That's pretty much it. I have a separate macro to Kick if the target is casting, that way I can control what it kicks. :P I also use Killing Spree, Blade Flurry and Adrenaline Rush whenever I need to.. so don't need a macro for that.

Thanks!

Combat Rogue is in my queue....you can see it on the first page.

My macro will likely do the Kick and also pop all the offensive cooldowns just because they're used all the time. I'll probably only pop them on high HP targets...but you can also just take those lines out when I'm done with it if you so desire.

Really? That's crazy...

Here's the line that does it:

/run if UnitBuff("player", "Stealth") and UnitPower("player")>= 50 then CastSpellByName("Garrote") end

So if you have a buff called "Stealth" and you have at least 50 energy, it should Garrote.

I'll assume you tested all this...but of course you must be stealthed and be behind the target in order to Garrote. The macro can check stealth but not check that you are behind. If you stealth, wait for full energy, run up behind a mob, and hit the macro...it should Garrote for sure...that just doesn't make sense if it doesn't.

I can see it maybe failing in a few situations failing to garrote and so doing another ability. Therefore I have added a StopMacro() after casting Garrote. Please grab the latest version from the front page. If you are stealthed it should try to garrote and nothing else... If that one still won't garrote please let me know.

Thanks for testing.

I went back and looked at my macro that I have in-game. I added a /startattack to the top so I can just spam the macro and switch targets as one dies. This was causing me to break stealth before I could cast Garrote. I moved it below the Garrote line and it works fine now. I will pick up the new macro and see how that works.

Awesome, thanks Viral Fly-by!

Aha! You sneaky devil....don't change my macros. =p

If you want to do that...just do this:

/run if IsStealthed()~=1 then RunMacroText("/startattack") end

Then it will only start your autoattack if you're not in stealth. =)

Awesome, thanks Viral Fly-by!

I'm not sure what for...but your welcome!

More Holy Paladin tweaks:

1. Don't judge unless focus is in combat (prevents accidental pulls).
2. Don't Hand of Protection someone who isn't in combat (damn warlocks tapping so low).
3. Don't Hand of Protection a mage who is already in Ice Block (talk about unnecessary).

The macro on the front page is now fixed. These changes are implemented and the line that was too long has been separated into 2 lines. Someone please test?

yes the logic makes sense to me and when i see your macros i always see something that i should have been doing manually (pre lua ninja) and never was lol

i also enjoyed reading the dot delay info , and why

I agree about the buff/stone/pet issue. I usually have mine up at all times and have warnings when they fall. Just thought adding it would be fun.

I am testing now...

Edit: Works perfect now. Thank you.

As always...I'm curious how the performance is for you...especially compared to your real playing of the character in that spec. How's the rotation look to you? How's the DPS in various situations? I'm always looking for other opinions about how to improve the logic...I may not always agree with them...but I still like getting them.

Same question to you johnm2...how's the rogue one look? Does it seem to be "doing it right"? My rogue is only 60 so I've not been able to test. The energy management is not as advanced in that one as the feral druid one but I didn't feel it was necessary. How's the performance from your perspective?

Can't wait for you to get the resto druid & combat rogue done, then I can see your great work done applied to MM hunters.

I ran the ret pally for 6 runs today, and I was low on mana quite a lot. I thinks it's cause my gear sucks though.

I changed

/run vPlea(0.20)

to

/run vPlea(0.75)

and I found that I was maintaining my mana better.

Other than the mana issue, I loved the ret macro, makes me want to get some healer gear and try out the holy one.

Yea I do my best to make them customizable. I hope people actual read my write ups about how the macro works and how it can be customized. I didn't do a very good job of abstracting the key values into variables for that Ret Pally one so it would be nice and configurable in the first line. But what you did is dead on and is the kind of little tweaking I try to make possible so people can make the macro fit their character.

That's why we all love the work you have been doing, I've been playing around with your code from the other classes trying to get something stable for my hunter, and am finding the notes invaluable in helping decipher the code.

And when I said I can't wait for you to get to the MM hunter, I was joking. Seems like I find something new everyday that I want added to it. I think I have edited that post 6 times now. If it ends up anything like your others (and I know it will) I will be in heaven.

Hey, Sorry I am the one that posted on Elitetech's post about the Earth Shield not working on focused target. I meant to actually post on this thread. LoL, but yeah your's is the one I am currently using, and yes it does not seem to be putting Earth Shield on my focused target if he does not have it. It doesn't give me any kind of error or anything it just does not seem to do it. I began thinking this could have been because it was a cross-realm LFG? But then again everything else works fine.

First off, THANK YOU Viral, your contributions to this site are unlike any other before.

Also a thank you for the amount of patience you show to all the people (like me) that attempt to create their macros, but they suck compared to yours so you always end up having to help us out with them.

Anyways, I'm having some issues with my selfmade Survival macro... It gets stuck at the mend pet line if my pet has died.

How would I fix it so that if my pet is dead it will continue through the macro?

My current code:
[SPOILER]
/run UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
/run StaticPopup_Hide("MACRO_ACTION_FORBIDDEN");
/run if UnitAffectingCombat("player")==1 and UnitBuff("player", "Aspect of the Hawk")==nil then CastSpellByName("Aspect of the Hawk") end
/run if UnitAffectingCombat("player")==nil and UnitBuff("player", "Aspect of the Viper")==nil then CastSpellByName("Aspect of the Viper") end
/run if UnitCastingInfo("target") then CastSpellByName("Scatter Shot") end
/run if IsUsableSpell("Disengage")==1 and GetSpellCooldown("Disengage")==0 and IsSpellInRange("Wing Clip", "target")==1 then CastSpellByName("Disengage") end
/run if GetSpellCooldown("Feign Death")==0 and UnitAffectingCombat("player")==1 then CastSpellByName("Feign Death") end
/run if UnitHealth("pet")/UnitHealthMax("pet")<0.50 and IsUsableSpell("Mend Pet")==1 and UnitBuff("pet", "Mend Pet")==nil then RunMacroText("/cast Mend Pet") end
/stopmacro [noexists]
/run for i=1,GetNumTrackingTypes() do local n, t, a, c = GetTrackingInfo(i); if string.find(n, UnitCreatureType("target")) then if t~=GetTrackingTexture(i) then SetTracking(i); end end end
/startattack
/run if GetSpellCooldown("Black Arrow")==0 then CastSpellByName("Black Arrow") end
/run if GetSpellCooldown("Explosive Shot")==0 and UnitDebuff("target", "Explosive Shot")==nil then CastSpellByName("Explosive Shot") end
/run if GetSpellCooldown("Mongoose Bite")==0 and IsSpellInRange("Wing Clip", "target")==1 then CastSpellByName("Mongoose Bite") end
/run if GetSpellCooldown("Raptor Strike")==0 and IsSpellInRange("Wing Clip", "target")==1 then CastSpellByName("Raptor Strike") end
/run if GetSpellCooldown("Kill Command")==0 and UnitAffectingCombat("player")==1 then CastSpellByName("Kill Command") end
/run if GetSpellCooldown("Rapid Fire")==0 and UnitAffectingCombat("player")==1 then CastSpellByName("Rapid Fire") end
/run if UnitAffectingCombat("player")==1 then RunMacroText("/use 13") end
/run if UnitAffectingCombat("player")==1 and UnitHealth("target")/UnitHealthMax("target")<0.40 then RunMacroText("/use 14") end
/run if GetSpellCooldown("Steady Shot")==0 then CastSpellByName("Steady Shot") end
[/SPOILER]
A few notes:

• I put my steady shot at the very bottom because its the lowest priority (trick I learned from you).

• I have issues sometimes with having my macro use Rapid Fire, it doesn't seem to want to waste a GCD on it?
• I'd like to setup my macro to use Feign Death on a % threat amount of target, but I can't seem to find an example of this. If you have one somewhere can you please direct me to it?
• My macro seems to only want to use Mongoose Bite once, as opposed to every time it is off cooldown.
• I know I need to fix my interrupt line, I've just been feeling lazy.
• I need to make all my debuff spells compatible with other hunter's, again, just been too lazy to do this.

Besides these issues, my macro has kept as top or 2nd highest dpser in most instances. I'm currently level 70 using this macro so I don't know how well it will work in endgame raids.

Thanks for looking over it for me.

I _JUST_ tested it on live with my shaman...works perfectly...as long as the focus is in your group it works fine. I've not explicitly tested with Earth Shield on shaman...but that exact same logic is used for refreshing Beacon of Light for Holy Paladin and I've used that with no issues for many tanks even those on different realms in a LFG dungeon.

Glad I can help...

Anyways, I'm having some issues with my selfmade Survival macro... It gets stuck at the mend pet line if my pet has died.

Just don't do it if you don't have a pet...

/run if UnitExists("pet") and UnitHealth("pet")/UnitHealthMax("pet")<0.50 and IsUsableSpell("Mend Pet")==1 and UnitBuff("pet", "Mend Pet")==nil then RunMacroText("/cast Mend Pet") end

1. I have issues sometimes with having my macro use Rapid Fire, it doesn't seem to want to waste a GCD on it?
2. My macro seems to only want to use Mongoose Bite once, as opposed to every time it is off cooldown.

Looks fine to me...but they'll only be used if all the abilities earlier in the macro are on cooldown. The only thing I can guess is that you are in melee range and want to Mongoose Bite but it's trying to explosive shot or black arrow but those abilities are failing due to being too close and that is preventing the melee abilities from firing.

I'd like to setup my macro to use Feign Death on a % threat amount of target, but I can't seem to find an example of this. If you have one somewhere can you please direct me to it?

My ret macro does this to use Hand of Salvation:

/run local t={UnitDetailedThreatSituation("player","target")}; if GetNumPartyMembers()>0 and (t[1]==1 or (t[5] ~=nil and t[5]>25000 and t[3]>90)) and GetSpellCooldown("Hand of Salvation")==0 then RunMacroText("/cast [@player] Hand of Salvation") end

To adapt to your needs:

/run local t={UnitDetailedThreatSituation("player","target")}; if (t[1]==1 or (t[5] ~=nil and t[5]>10000 and t[3]>90)) and GetSpellCooldown("Feign Death")==0 then CastSpellByName("Feign Death") end

So if you either have aggro or you have generated at least 10000 threat (that's not a lot) and are within 90% of pulling aggro and Feign Death is off CD, then Feign Death.

I've thought about Warrior stuff but not gotten around to them yet...we worked on a prot one some in another thread. If you're interested in that one, Elitetech has the latest. I'll probably adopt that one at some point and also work on DPS ones. I'd probably do Fury first since it seems more popular (even though I personally <3 Arms).

I was seeking a tanking macro actually as I have been working on fury macro already ( not much to work on for fury cause it is too faceroll ) ;D
